Total marked price of pillow and pillow cover = Rs. 700 + Rs. 100 = Rs. 800 We know, Selling Price = Marked Price × (1 – (Discount Percentage/100)) ⇒ Selling price after discount of 24% = Rs. 800 × (1 – 24/100) = Rs. 608 John availed this deal and sold the pillow cover to Chris at Rs. 90. ⇒ Effective selling price of pillow for John = Rs. 608 – Rs. 90 = Rs. 518 ⇒ John bought pillow worth Rs. 700 at Rs. 518. To find discount percentage, 518 = 700 × (1 – Discount Percentage/100) ⇒ Discount Percentage = 100 × (1 – 0.74) = 26 ∴ Effective discount will be 26%.Related questions
